I must say, this is the best example of creating a perfect circle within your design. I went to bed with this on my mind and woke up to this lovely Tutorial. Now I can complete my project with ease. Thank you for your awesome instructions.
Thank you for the tutorial! *thumbs up* I literally watched this, went to the fibers studio, and wove it on the loom. It was exactly what I needed. Thanks for helping me get over that last hump to get my fibers class final off of the loom. ^_^
@@mirrixtapestryandbeadlooms Thank you! This is what's confusing me, though. If the two weft yarns are poking out of the same gap, doesn't that mean that the warp strings on either side will both have the yarns going under them? Then later, when it's time to decrease the green and increase the yellow, won't there be a float?
@@linguavert4399 You start the weft ends at the same place but once you start weaving them and since they are going in opposite directions once you start weaving them they will go under or over the correct warp.
@@claudiachase7103 Thanks for your response. When I do what I think you're describing, I just get floats where they meet and end up having to wrap one or more of the warps when I increase one weft. I'm still a beginner and can't tell what I'm doing wrong. Every time I look up "meet and separate" (which I eventually figured out this technique is called), they're either videos that have the camera really far away from the loom or drawings that illustrate the opposite directions but not where the initial wefts poke out. If you could direct me to a video that clearly demonstrates "meet and separate" from the very beginning, I'd really be grateful!
@@linguavert4399 I think you really need to purchase a book. I know I cannot learn from videos and just need to be able to stare at an illustration. I suggest either Rebecca's Metzoff's book or Kiersten Glasbro's. Both available on our site. Without looking at exactly what you are doing it is really hard for me to understand what the issue is or how we can fix it. I don't think it's possible to learn tapestry techniques without a good book or two. I have a personal collection of about ten. They are my all-time most valuable books to me (poetry books being a close second).
Great tutorial! Very clear instructions on how to create a circle. Thank you.

Thank you for the kind words! We're glad this was helpful.
SOOOOOO much easier to learn visually than from a book. Thank you very much!
Proud to be part of the Mirrix community! Going to try circle weaving today.Thanks.
Thank you! It's great to see a Mirrix in action, too.

Wonderful tutorial. Thank you!
@1:16 Are the yellow yarn, the green yarn and the red marking yarn all poking out of the same gap between two warp strings?
Yes.

Lovely tutorial, thanks😊
Thank you!
so do you not change tredels when you do shapes
You can either finger-weave or change the shed. When you're weaving up in a small space, sometimes finger-weaving is a little bit faster.
